Are you tagging your vendors on your social media posts? If not, you might be leaving a lot on the table. A lot of interior designers will refuse to tag vendors of the products they’ve sourced for clients on social media. But when you do share vendors, you’re increasing the chances of these vendors sharing your work. You don’t have to tag every vendor; you can be strategic about whom you tag. If you’re trying to get brand reach and awareness, this is a terrific strategy. Check out the full episode of this week’s Mini News to learn more!
